Samsung A127

If you're searching for a low-end cell phone in a simple design, AT&T and Samsung offer lots of choices. In the last couple months we've seen the Samsung SGH-A437 and SGH-A117, and now we present the Samsung SGH-A127. Sporting a compact design with an attractive color scheme, the SGH-A127 offers a respectable VGA camera. Call quality was just passable, providing that you're not using the speakerphone, but our experience was really ruined by the painfully small and hard-to-use controls. That's why we prefer the LG CE110 as a better basic phone. The SGH-A127 has a small phone book with room for just 300 contacts (the SIM card holds an additional 250 names). Each entry holds three phone numbers and an e-mail address. You can save callers to groups, but only groups can be paired with one of the 11 16-chord polyphonic ringtones. Other features include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, a world clock, an alarm clock, a calendar, a to-do list, a voice memo, a speakerphone, a calculator, and a currency converter.
